In the past, I’ve tried setting monthly goals, but I never ended up going back and checking to see if I accomplished them. (Terrible, I know). This time I promise I’ll go back and check up on my goals. Look, I even wrote them down and made them colorful in my blogging planner. It’s all about the aesthetics, people! At least for me, because I’ve always been a visual person.
In case you can’t read my handwriting, here are my goals for the month of November.
Personal and Professional Goals
+ Write more in my personal journal. I tend to forget to write in this because of the blog. Back to traditional journal-ing, here I come.
+ Continue making to-do lists. Ever since I got my to-do list notebook, my days have been more organized and productive.
+ Cook a new recipe for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
+ Write more articles per week for my freelance positions.
Running Goals
+ Run a 5K, and enjoy every minute of it.
+ Find another 5K to register for before Christmas.
+ Register for a half marathon in the spring.
+ Find a good half marathon training plan.
+ Run at least 5 days a week.
What are your goals for November?

Great goals! Try RunnersWorld.com for a half marathon training plan. You can input youre current mileage and pace, and it spits out a customized plan.
That’s a great tip Brigid. Can’t wait to check it out! I’m always on RunnersWorld, so I think that’s a great suggestion.
I love your goals! I guess you’ll be checking off the 5K this weekend? 🙂 I signed up to return to Wilmington, DE for a half in mid-May. I liked it because it’s only 1000 people that end up registering, it’s not too far from Philly, and it’s not crazy hot yet. I will say the course has a pretty large incline at mile 12, but I’m hoping to kick it’s butt next year!
Thanks Krissie! I hope to meet up with you at the race this weekend. Email me your cell phone number and I’ll text you after I finish! My email is: kennedy (dot) nicolem (at) gmail.com
